NPD U.S. Economic Perception Indicator

January 28, 2011

The NPD U.S. Economic Perception Indicator, a measure of consumer confidence, is up slightly over December. The reading from January 2011 shows consumers are slightly less concerned than they were last month.

The NPD Group's U.S. Economic Perception Indicator measures consumer beliefs about the current and near-term state of the U.S. economy, on a scale of 0 -- "very concerned" -- to 100 -- "very confident."
